I think Vespa would be bit heavy for women and it gives a scooter look too !!

My advice go like this

1. TVS Wego - fits perfect in any aspect with awesome power, very easy for women
2. Aviator - good in every department, but height is bit more
3. Activa - most commonly used and proved one, but sucks with suspension

I am not suggesting Suzuki even though Access is a hit, but they drink a lot and long term reliability is not good
Yamaha Ray - A new bet in Las vegas

Was there a pillion rider as well? Just check the comfort for pillions as well. Vespa would be a great product, something which you wont get to see wherever you go. This would make your wife feel special.

I took TD of vespa, I was satisfied with power and ride. It has got full still body as well.

Hi sramanandi,

Did you book Vespa? My opinion is to got for Honda Activa. It's a safe bet asit's a "Honda". It has a gem of engine and also looks good. Importantly Activa has very good resale value even 5 years down the line.

Why do people look at resale value 5yrs down the lane and compromise on the comfort and quality, and probably a better product?

I'm not saying Activa is a bad scooter, but i guess Vespa is a better product.

No offense mate but I feel quality is top notch on Honda Activa. Activa has a gem of an engine which has proved to be very reliable in harsh Indian conditions. i doubt LML product quality and service quality and long term reliability.

Its not LML Vespa buddy. Its a direct product from Peugeot. And quality is top notch.

Even i meant no offence, but when there is a new product with better road presence, one needs to take a call.

Wego: Body balance technology is nice, but some how I do not like the look and power, so its out of my choice.

Can anyone explain the body balance tech,

Initially when we started using cycles we found difficult to ride it with a 5 kg carry bag on one side of the handle
and later on we find it easy and we see bikers carry kilo's on their handle,
i think that is the balance we get and get adapted on daily usage of two wheeler's.

I drove this wego and found it light,is this because of the body balance tech that the company claims or is it really lighter than Activa?
Eg:A cricket bat if the balance is good then we do not feel the weight
and an unbalanced one may feel heavy even if it is really lighter than the balanced one,
is this the balance the company referring to?

Or is it just for a publicity?

For me if a two wheeler is not engineered properly then the rider will fall down frequently on rides.
A friend of mine altered/extended his KB100's front tubular shocks to an inch to alter its looks,
the result was we people began to fall down at some curves, if the bike turns the curve in some angles.

For me all the two wheeler's have this engineering,
The tech the company claims, is it a different one other than this?

Speaking of the Wego’s braking in comparison to the current market leader, Activa, its almost entirely different, the Activa features a bottom link, spring loaded hydraulic damper at the front, on the road this meant that the front of the bike actually rises up on applying the brakes, which can feel odd and also unpredictableon muddy roads, this issue is non-existent on the Wego since it uses the bike-like telescopic Suspension System. In the city though, TVS’s ‘body balance tech’ made its presence felt, with the least amount of effort required to flick the bike in and out of traffic, and roads. this technology, in my opinion consists of the 12″ wheels, telescopic suspension in front, the comparatively higher ground clearance and a well implemented front – rear weight distribution. The good brakes on the scooter also lent a bit of confidence for taking it around at above average speeds. Overall, in the handling department, the bike felt refreshing; it was sporty, nimble, predictable and confidence inspiring, at the cost of being slightly bumpy on bad roads. Not bad at all.
